All these arguments about CY being more expensive than non-CY might not be relevant in the case of Starbucks, the Baristas have no vested interest in savings Starbucks the few pennies difference in price. If the CY is successful the managers will be so satisfied with the increase in sales that they won't think twice about the minor cost differential of the CY-milk. Or, said a bit differently, the cost differential of a few cents is insignificant when Starbucks is selling you a $5 Venti.
It's not about saving money. In 7 eleven, the story goes that he was filling up the cy with the ncy because they were out of cy. It wasn't malicious, he just thought they all have to be full.
If you don't care why would you comment?

Meh. Most 7-11s are franchises and many are known to be cheap.
Most Starbucks are corporate owned and don't play shenanigans like 7-11s do.

I think a bigger problem is that quite literally they are putting a wig on a pig, fwiu many kashrus agency's have big problems with Starbucks in general. Maybe it's just me but this kind of message flying around social media promotes going to Starbucks and thinking all is good

Really? So how does anyone eat those hot dogs?

Or are they only roasting when he's there?

What's the purpose of your comment? If it was supposed to be a harmless joke, then fine, but if you were trying to criticize people for getting "off topic" then I reject your rebuke and I counter-rebuke you, sir. What do you not get? 90% of the people on this forum care about kashrus. News was announced about Starbucks and, like we would with any deal, people on the forum are discussing whether there is any value to this news or not. Why do people get uptight when kashrus is the subject?

Serious question, Freddie, and I truly mean no offense:  Where does your hyper-sensitivity regarding CY come from?  I seem to remember you implying that many of the world's ills are due to the consumption of cholov stam.  Is there a mekor for this?  Is it just a Chabad thing?  I'm genuinely curious.

Yes, I think it is a "Chabad thing," as you call it, to be sensitive about cholov Yisroel. There is definitely an aspect of that. But there is more to it.

Cholov Yisroel became the red-headed stepchild of halachos. It get's so little respect in the frum community, which is ironic because cholov Yisroel is something you put into your body and which becomes your very organs and cells. Non-cholov Yisroel clogs up the fine machinery that is the Yiddisher mind and heart and makes us unreceptive to ruchnius. So, yeah, in that sense, it is the source of many other ills. People can laugh and scoff at this but when someone loses their sensitivity to other mitzvos, it often can be traced back to maachalos asuros and their numbing effect. Then it becomes a vicious cycle.

TL;DR if frum people today would treat CY with at least as much respect as other halachos, I probably would never mention it.
